Figure 5

Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations in the cecal digesta of 35-day-old broilers fed a diet supplemented with canola meal (20%) relative to a control diet as measured by gas chromatography. (A) Acetate. (B) Proprionate. (C) Butyrate. (D) Valerate. (E) Total SCFAs. (F) Ratio of two carbon to three carbon SCFAs. There was no difference (p ≥ 0.549) between females and males, and in both sexes higher (p ≤ 0.025) concentrations of SCFAs were observed in the cecal digesta of birds fed the diet with canola meal (indicated by asterisks).
